It is simple, maybe it's very hard but it is simple. If somebody is physically abusing you gtfo and contact police if necessary. They are not bad people for being abused, I have empathy for them, but it's the wrong choice to stay with somebody who is physically abusing you, and I'll confidently stand by that stance. I have a pet peeve of when people's "empathy" leads to more suffering, and telling people it's too hard to leave abusive relationships or they are basically hostages leads to more unneeded suffering. Empathy should be in service of helping people, when your empathy starts going into the area where it enables if not encourages people to stay in abusive relationships longer then your empathy is kinda fucked up and I want no part of it. I'd much rather be an "asshole" that gets a person out of a domestic abuse relationship, than a "empathetic" person that empowers them to stay there feeling helpless. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 ...
